NEDERLAND, Texas (AP) - A grieving Southeast Texas family is to speak of one of their own - a man who is one of three U.S. citizens killed in a hostage standoff at a natural gas complex in Algeria.
Victor Lynn Lovelady's family has planned a Tuesday news conference in the Beaumont-Port Arthur suburb of Nederland, where the 57-year-old Houston man grew up.
U.S. officials identified Lovelady on Monday as the second Texan to have died in the standoff in the Sahara.
The four-day standoff ended Saturday after Algerian troops stormed the complex. Algeria says 38 hostages of all nationalities and 29 militants died in the standoff. Three Americans died - Lovelady, fellow Texan Frederick Buttaccio and Gordon Lee Rowan - and seven Americans made it out safely. Five foreign workers remain unaccounted for.
